O my spir - it longs and faints

2 Happy birds that sing and fly
Round Thy altars, O Most High!
Happier souls that find a rest
In a heavenly Father's breast!
Like the wandering dove, that found
No repose on earth around,
They can to their ark repair,
And enjoy it ever there.

3 Happy souls! their praises flow
Even in this vale of woe;
Waters in the desert rise,
Manna feeds them from the skies:

Guide me through a world of sin;
Keep me by Thy saving grace;
Give me at Thy side a place.

Guide and guard my erring heart:

6 From Thy house when I return,
May my heart within me burn,
And at evening let me say,
"I have walked with God to-day."

Fill my soul with humble awe,
Till Thy gospel bring to me
Life and immortality.

Peace and pardon in Thy Name,
Through their voice, by faith, may I
Hear Thee speaking from the sky.
